IMPROYBMBNT IN PUMPS.v

lO ALL W'HOM IT MAY CONCERN:

to correspond withslots a in the pipe D, and thereby strengt .provided with channels and valves corresponding with the pi Be it known that we, PHILO Bl, WHITE and HnNnY M. C.v WHITE, of Dowagiae, in the county of Cass, and in the State of lizlichigan, have invented eertainnew and useful Improvements in Pumps; and do hereby declare that the following is a fulholear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying draw# ings, and the letters of reference marked thereon.

In the annexed drawings, making a part'ot this specification, A represents the vertical hollow shaft or stock of a pump provided with a mouth or discharge-pipe, ce, and B represents a vertical pipe provided with an opening or slots, a, through opp'osite sides of it, and'connected with the stock A by the horizontal pipes C C', which form nu elbow at each ond of the pipe B. The pipes C C are each provided with a valve, e and e', to check or keep the water from running cir-falling back after it is once forced into the stock A. D represents a plunger, which exactly tits and works inside of the pipe B, provided with openings or slots, a', on both sides, to admit the water, and having valves cl and d to the stock A, near its top, and having one end of the forked mo the shaft F embracing the pipe B, and attached by the cross-bar I), and works the same up and down by meansof the lever-E. it is o par-t ofthe stock A, may be enclosed in a box, G, of suitable d im vable shaft F pivoted te it, the othe'r end of which works in the slotl a, `to the plunger' D, bvious that the pipes C C and B, and lower ensions, provided with slots in oppositesides ncned and secured more firmly together, or u box pes D, C, and C', and lower part of the stock A `and the valves-c and c may be used in lieu o'f them. The b`ox G- or pipes C Cand B should he submerged -in jthe water of a wellfor tank, and 'it will readily he seen that the water will pass through the slots a of the. pipe B and the plunger D, and thence through the valves d and d into the pipes C and C', and thence through the valves c and c into the bottom part of the stock A.

` I When itis desired to pump or rai'se the water, by raising the lever E, and thereby the plunger D, the water above the valve d is forced. forward through the valve c into 'the stoel; A, and kept from running back by the valves e and cf, and by pressing the lever E down, the water in lront o't' the valve d is forced forward, in like manner as above, through the pipe and the valve c into the stock A. By a repetition of the movement of the lever E,-the wateris forced out of the mouth 2:, which may beat any given height above the water, in a continuous and uninterruptedstream.

Having thus fully described our invention, whatwe claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The submerged box G, provided with a wator-inletin its side, channels D C C', valves e e', slotted plunger D, vwith its valves d d', said plunger operated lby thelcver E and shaft F, all substantially as and for thepurposes set forth.

In testimony that-we .claim the foregoing,

we have hereunto set our hands, this 9th day @December-,1867.
